All too often, campuses focus solely on technical or “systems” solutions to their facility investment decisions. This approach, which relies upon multiple companies, lacks integration and seldom provides the funding or the program flexibility to effectively manage facility assets; unfortunately, frustration and confusion often result.
Key to driving the effective investment program is defining management policies that support investment flexibility to coordinate multiple funding sources, to correct priority needs and to measure performance — both to program objectives and campus improvement.
This session will discuss the synergies of Sightlines, ISES, and AssetWorks to illustrate how the coordination of technical data, effective systems, and capital investment policy intersects to enhance the capital planning process to work cooperatively toward achieving your goals.
